The story so far in the Pfl for Zenit Irkutsk, who have the fewest scored goals (2) in Pfl, at their home stadium is 1 win, 0 draws and 3 defeats. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Zenit Irkutsk with their five defeats in a row. Not since the Novosibirsk game, 44 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Zenit Irkutsk, their manager O. Yakovlev and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

The Zenit Irkutsk crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Dinamo Barnaul here in a Pfl match. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Chita (0-1).
